Thu, 21 Oct 2010 02:38:59 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-85302Do we really need to repeat here that any manager who bets on his team is betting against them whenever he doesn’t bet on them! I think baseball has one rule that can ban you for life and erase any chance for the hall of fame. It is posted in every dugout and locker room in baseball. Pete ignored that and is sorry … that he got caught. Shame on baseball for overlooking it for so long when he was making money for them, but it doesn’t change his crimes.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 15:18:43 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-85002It’s Major League Baseball’s decision to ban him, and the HOF’s decision to honor that ban. The VC and the writers have nothing to do with it.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 13:00:23 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84908Bingo Schmedly!!! You are a wise man. I mean Selig should be fired for turning his head as steroids (Illegal drugs) ran rampant through MLB while all he did was count ratings and money. Bud knew it, Managers knew it, trainers knew it, and every damn ballplayer knew it. Tell me no one blew a whistle to BUD? Bullcrap. IMO he’s 10 x worse than Pete. Yet he is the guy judging Pete and keeping him from the HOF. Sure we don’t want cheats in the game, i’m fine with it. But the HOF?? seriously?

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 12:39:42 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84897What always gets left out of these conversations is that Pete Rose’s achievements ARE in the Hall of Fame. If you go, you will see his name on many the plaque bearing witness to what he’s accomplished. The only thing not there is a HoF plaque specifically just for him. So anyone complaining that he should be in there because of what he’s done…the HoF respects what he’s done but not him…I’m good with that.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 06:08:29 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84867Who’s decision should it be then? The writers? A good chunk of them probably never saw him play. Let his peers decide. That’s what happens when a player doesn’t get voted in after 15 years on the ballot. The Veteran’s Committee is the final judge.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 03:45:04 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84832look just because he did not break down and cry and confess and beg for forgiveness at the time like every other athlete who did something wrong does not mean he needs the media to keep telling what an awful person he is. yea it’s just terrible that he continues to make money for his family by selling his autograph or doing whatever it takes to earn a living.like it or not he has a paid a heavy price for his crimes so get off his back. if they will not let him in the hall for what he did as a player while he was alive then they better not after he is dead. there is a reason he is still popular after all these years and that is because he was one hell of a player and the all time hits leader. he played the game the way it was supposed to be played all out all the time. still seems a little unfair he got busted for not paying taxes and had to due time but the other old timers who didn’t suddenly paid all the back taxes on the unreported card show money and didn’t have to face any charges.it’s simple if all his records and memorabellia is good enough to be in the hall then he should to. if you want to put a scarlet letter on his plaque stating he is banned for what he did after his playing days fine but put him in!

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 03:38:52 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84831I know that Rose was wrong betting on baseball and I agree that he should never be allowed to be a part of any type of baseball game again. Period. But he should be in the Hall of Fame for his on-the-field achievements. Having the all-time hits leader not in the Hall of Fame seems to me like cutting off your nose to spite your face. But either way, I wouldn’t fight for Pete Rose for anything. Screw him…he made his bed, now he has to sleep in it.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 01:37:36 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84815Pete wasn’t the greatest guy off the field, but there’s no denying that he is one of the greatest players ever on the field. He will never be “just another guy.” He shouldn’t be allowed to hold any position in baseball where he could potentially sway the outcome of a game, but he should be allowed to attend games and ceremonies, and he should be eligible for the HOF. Let the Veteran’s Committee decide if he should get in or not.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:51:18 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84810Again, none of this crap matters. You’re not allowed to bet on baseball. Period. End of story. It doesn’t matter if you have 8000 hits, 1000 home runs and every day you weren’t playing baseball was spent nurturing sick children back to health.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:31:36 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84809Baseball is like a spiteful old man – no wonder less and less people follow it. Rose is/was/always pure jerk but he had 4,000 hit. 4,000 hits. Everyone in the HOF who played in that era is diminished by the absence of his admission. But what can be expected from an organization so stoneage as to take away a perfect game from a young man when everyone agrees it was a bad call? I understand the baseball purist’s point of view but at some point it become lunancy.

Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:03:55 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84798The rule is, you don’t be on baseball. Period. Not, “don’t bet on baseball, unless it doesn’t effect the outcome of the game”. Very simple rule, very easy to understand. If you think it’s a bad rule, fine, but for better or worse, MLB considers gambling on games to be it’s cardinal sin. Rose certainly knew that. He bet anyway. He got caught, and now he has to live with the consequences. Buy the ticket, take the ride. Love, passion, and jerks like A-Rod don’t count for squat in this equation.

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 23:58:21 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84797Apparently money means nothing to Pete Rose. Made obvious by the amount of money he loses gambling. Your comparison of Rose and A-Rod is totally subjective and really irrelevant. Pete Rose broke the rules. Pete Rose lied about breaking the rules. Pete Rose is now sorry for lying – right before his new book came out. Sheesh.

Tue, 19 Oct 2010 23:33:23 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=20137#comment-84792Prove to me what game (I won’t bother inserting an “s”) he bet on he also did anything to change to games results because he bet on it.

I’m so tired of seeing all the babies crying about his betting, unless you can show the world the one thing that would ever convince the people that are still waiting for evidence his bets changed the results shut the F up. He always had more love and passion for the game then jerks like A-Rod will ever have, A-Rod wants one thing and that’s a big check and all the glory for HIMSELF nothing else.

He should have gone into the HOF years ago!!!
